I did this today in the pound shop; bought some "Monetta luxury cream wafers", simply because they came in a tin which will be just the right size to store crayons, felt-tips etc.

I have too. I bought the PG tips commemorative jubilee tin (just because I liked it) when I didn't really need tea bags. I had just bought tea bags and now have enough to last about two years, as I am the only one in the household that drinks tea.

Was very close to buying some M&S shortbread in a Jubilee tin. The tin was really cute and although I like shortbread it's so fattening so I thought a fiver for a tin that I'll probably never use wasn't the best use of my hard earned cash!

I nearly bought a tin of tea bags today even though they're bags we don't use.

I did buy a tin of M&S biccies for the tin. It was 8 fucking quid Hmm. Was this one. I really liked it.
